Title: FormSHARE Smart Hypertext Automated Referral Exchange

1
FormSHARE (Smart Hypertext Automated Referral
Exchange)

2
FormSHARE - The Setting

Social Service Providers (e.g., housing or
counseling agencies) design forms used for
requesting their services
Case Managers fill out forms to request services
for their clients (e.g., foster children or
patients with AIDS)
A Case Manager might request a mix of about 20
services from 60 possibilities for each of his
or her 100 clients

FormSHARE - The Problem

Client data on Case Manager computers
cannot be printed into Service Provider forms
must remain local to protect client privacy
Case Managers hand copy data from their screens
into forms which they submit to Service Providers
by fax or mail
This consumes time, and can introduce error
